Overheard Through The Walls Of The Invisible City
. . . telling those who swarm around him his desire
Is that an appendage from each of them
Fill, invade each of his orifices,-
Repeating, chanting,
Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah
Until, as if in darkness he craved the sun, at last he reached
Consummation.
-Until telling those who swarm around him begins again
(we are the wheel to which we are bound).
